Since "bzr revno" gives the rev number directly, it may be easier to reuse the commented part (callled "safe way") instead of the currently uncommented one ("universal way"). But I'm not a C++ expert, and there may be a good reason why we used the "universal way" with SVN. Does someone remember?
Most users on Windows will have TortoiseBzr instead of bzr. While TortoiseBzr includes bzr.exe (as I recall it), it's unlikely to be in the PATH.
Actually, I think it is the other way around: installing bzr will include installing TortoiseBzr. But since TortoiseBzr is a crappy (compared to TortoiseSVN) and slow, you definitely want 'bzr' in your path (default bzr installation setting), to do simple things like "bzr update".
